Hoiw about a recipe that, for messages from this list:
1. injects [procmail] in the Subject
Debatable, IMO. Personally I have a recipe that saves all messages
I receive from procmail list to a dedicated folder, and a [procmail] tag
in the subject line would only eat up valuable space in my MUA. Anyway,
you can write a recipe to add the tag locally if you insist:
:0 fh
* ^(Resent-)?Sender:[ ]+procmail-request@
* ^Subject:[ ]*\/.*
| formail -I "Subject: [procmail] $MATCH"
2. creates a "Reply-To: the list"
Like I said many times in the past, this is evil, because it
prevents people from sending private replies. The "right" way to do it
is:
(1) Use "Mail-Followup-To:" instead;
(2) Use a decent MUA, that can distinguish between the various reply
forms.
3. reformats malaligned quoting
[...]
If you mean misaligned quoted like the "list," word above, I'm
afraid there's no way to distinguish them from intentional formatting
(yes, some people do format their messages that way).
